Diwali 2026 with UL Global
Over the past week UL Global brought the spirit of Diwali to campus with a series of colourful and engaging events that celebrated The Festival of Lights, one of the most important festivals in Indian culture. Students got involved in decorating The Globe, trying traditional Mehndi art, creating Rangoli displays, and testing their knowledge in a fun Bollywood and Indian culture quiz.
The celebrations culminated on November 9th with a lively Diwali gathering at The Globe, where students shared memories, traditions and Diwali wishes on a community board. A highlight of the event was hearing from Nandini Batham, who reflected on celebrating Diwali away from home and finding a sense of belonging at UL.
The afternoon also featured music and dance performances by our talented UL students, followed by a delicious spread of samosas, snacks and traditional Diwali sweets. More than a celebration, the event was a wonderful reminder of the rich cultural diversity within our university community and the important role our international students play in making UL such a vibrant and welcoming place.
